Sprayer arrested in ‘complainant turned accused’ case

The Akropong Police near Abuakwa in the Ashanti Region has arrested and detained one Ernest Frimpong, a sprayer, in a case that can be termed as 'complainant turned accused'.

Frimpong was said to have initially reported to the police that one Nana Amankwa Junior had stabbed him with a nail, causing injuries to his forehead. He then pleaded with the police to arrest the culprit to face the law.

But after being issued with a police medical form to seek medical attention and report back to the police, Frimpong, allegedly, took the law into his own hands by assaulting Junior in a bloody fashion in retaliation.

Akropong Station Police Station statement, sighted by this portal, has confirmed the incident and stated that Frimpong has since been nabbed and detained to assist police with investigations.
